Description
CASA ACROPOLI (Acropolis House)
Ref: 006
Stone Home in Iconic Ancient Acropolis of Arpino with Tower and Valley Views
Nestled within the ancient Acropolis - the fortified heart - of the iconic hilltop town of Arpino - this charming 140 sqm stone house (ref: 006) offers a rare chance to live in one of Europe's oldest continuously inhabited fortified settlements. Located just 90 minutes from Rome, this exceptional property lies in a place of profound archaeological and cultural importance, internationally recognized and proudly listed on Italy's tentative UNESCO World Heritage list.
The Acropolis of Arpino stands atop a scenic hill in southern Lazio, surrounded by imposing Cyclopean walls built by pre-Roman populations in the 7th-8th century BC. These monumental ancient fortifications, including the exquisitely preserved pointed stone gateway, remain some of the finest examples of pre-Roman engineering in the world. Overlooking the valley below, the Acropolis is guarded by a medieval watchtower, once part of an ancient castle set on the hill.
Although a listed archeological site, the Acropolis of Arpino is still a thriving small community inhabited all year round with each very old stone house beautifully maintained. In summer, flowers and window boxes abound. Residents can drive along the cobbled main street which loops through the little village and park outside their homes, but as no other traffic is permitted, there is a charming feeling of tranquility. Each summer, the local community celebrates its rich cultural traditions with lively festivals and events, notably the renowned Cantine del Vino (Wine Cellars Event), where ancient wine cellars open their doors for tastings and festivities.
The property is situated a mere 100 meters from the ancient watchtower, boasting spectacular open views and abundant natural light throughout. The home unfolds over two floors, featuring a spacious ground-floor living room and on the upper level, three large double bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en suite), and a fully equipped kitchen with windows on three sides.
The property is in good condition with a well-maintained roof and all essential utilities connected, including public water and sewage systems. Heating is currently provided by traditional wood-burning stoves, with a gas supply infrastructure already installed.
The house's authentic character is enhanced by original architectural details - including a beautifully restored antique wooden front door, hand-carved interior doors, and bespoke artisan furniture included in the sale - all of which add warmth and an unmistakable sense of heritage rarely found in modern homes.
Although nestled in a typical historic alley, the property is easily accessible by car, with parking available nearby. The enchanting historic town center of Arpino is just a few minutes' drive away, offering convenient access to shops, restaurants, cafés, and essential services. Rome and its two international airports are within a 90-minute drive, making this a perfect balance between tranquil village life and metropolitan convenience.
